BTU International, Inc. a
leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the
electronics manufacturing and alternative energy markets, today announced
the formation of a strategic partnership with DEK International, a business
of Dover Corporation, a leading provider of printing equipment and processes
for the high accuracy mass imaging of electronic materials. The BTU and DEK partnership will provide complete in-line
metallization process solutions to photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers.
This significant alliance combines DEK International's next generation
printing technologies and handling solutions with BTU International's high
performance drying and firing technologies to form a complete turn-key
metallization line for solar cells. This broadens BTU's product offerings to the solar industry, which
also includes integrated in-line diffusion and anti-reflective coating
systems. |

ULTRASONIC DIRECT SPRAY DOPER FROM BTU

BTU International, Inc.,
has now introduced a new direct spray, phosphorous doping technology for
photovoltaic processing.
The new doper system features a nozzle-less, ultrasonic, direct spray system
developed in conjunction with Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. (USI).
BTU has
incorporated
this new technology in a fully integrated continuous
diffusion line where it is combined with the company’s proven
TFQ Series Quartz-Lined Diffusion Furnace.
The use of continuous processing offers reduced
wafer handling and greater throughput than traditional batch processing.
Reduced handling translates into lower breakage rates and improved yield.
Typical processing times for the integrated doping and diffusion process are
as short as 20-25 minutes. A single user interface for the doper and furnace
controls simplify and streamline operation.
This continuous process provides the Solar Wafer manufacturer with a high
yields and consistent results needed to reduce cell costs through greater
speed and efficiency. |
